Error while trying to mount NFS share: "Invalid argument"
Hi all,
I am trying to mount an NFS (version 3) share exported by a NetApp filer on a Linux client running CentOS 5. The only thing "odd" I'm trying to do is use Kerberos as authentication for the connection. Here's what happens when I try the mount: Code:
[root@gen-cs41 ~]# mount -o sec=krb5 -t nfs 10.11.25.52:/vol/vol21_data share/ Code:
[root@gen-cs41 ~]# mount -v -o sec=krb5 -t nfs 10.11.25.52:/vol/vol21_data share/ |

I would try leaving off arguments on the command line, and see what changes. Also, just on the assumption that the diagnostic might be bogus, check firewall, directory permissions and make sure that the directory is correctly exported on 10.11.25.52. What happens when you try mount -s (sloppy mount)? |
I ended up giving up on this because it was a waste of my time, but I'll respond to your questions anyway.

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename...=CVE-2008-4552 I ended up trying Fedora Core 11 on the client and I got a bit further (no more "Invalid argument" message), but I was still unable to mount the NFS export. Quote:

In the end, I just took the advice from the fine folks at the Linux NFS FAQ (http://nfs.sourceforge.net/): "Because of bugs and missing features, for now support for Linux NFS with Kerberos is appropriate only for early adopters, and not for production use." |
